Hi,
is the class-side "name:" setter used by the system itself?
Because I remember many times overriding it for my own needs and it never
broke anything as far as I know... which makes it strange why it even exists (because it is a trap).
I remember students doing stuff like AClass name: 'blah'. And breaking everything. I agree that the situation is not optimal... We were discussing at some point to rename those reflective methods adding a "reflective" prefix. That would avoid such problems but it would become a bit more verbose. Guille
